With inspiration from Tupac to inspire and educate the hood, the lyricism for the mixtape speaks volumes. Vonte’ uses various samples and blues to battle the highly controversial social climate of our world today. He uses his music to place you in the mindset of an everyday warrior or samurai set to inspire and educate his people.

This tape is for the leaders and the kings of the new “woke era” that can relate to the struggle of the Black man that can be felt from hip-hop battle cries to unique ad-libs throughout the track. With creative interludes and skits used during this mixtape, Vonte gives you a view of both the stereotypic ‘n***a’ and the N.I.G.G.A. that people in the culture could be.

Vonte has been working hard as he’s been performing throughout the city of Chicago, opening up for west coast artist Dizzy Wright, and will now include his upcoming performance at Iridium 2/24.
